Applications

The DataMate MP can display and record readings from nearly every type of
geotechnical and structural sensor. The "MP" means "Multi-Purpose."

Advantages

Reads any sensor:

One DataMate MP does the work of many                 dedicated readouts.
 

Displays engineering units: The DataMate applies sensor calibrations and
displays readings in units that are immediately usable. For example, a piezometer
reading appears in units of pressure rather than in less useful native units, such as Hz or mV.

Reads electronic IDs: An EID is a small chip that can be wired into a connector or terminal box to serve as an electronic identifier for a particular sensor. When the DataMate detects the EID, it automatically selects the appropriate sensor in its sensor list, eliminating mismatches between sensors and recorded data. See More about EIDs.

Records multiple parameters: Many sensors are equipped with thermistors, RTDs, or other secondary channels.
The DataMate records all channels in one step, so no important readings are missed.

Simplifies data reduction: The Manager program retrieves data with just a few mouse clicks and stores it in a
Microsoft Access database. One more click starts MP Graph, which lets you view and graph the data. You can also
export graphs and data to other programs, such as word processors and spreadsheets.

Ready to use: In manual mode, the DataMate is ready to use, right out of the box, with no extra preparation. You can
read vibrating wire sensors, electrolevels, load cells, potentiometers, strain gauges, and accelerometers, etc, as if you
had a conventional readout for each
